The complete routing Of tho Mich
oils foTresin lie Sixth District By their
overwhelming defsal last Thursday ID
the Congressional Convention at Baton
Rouge, win no doubt serve as 4
warning 10 the RefOrIners throughout
the State that roasted beef aud the
cry of aRiugF' does not take with
Che Democratic masses; but On the
contrary they want pure, unadHlter.
ated Democracy, such as they have
enjoyed for the past seven years under
the wise and economical administra.
tion Of our present gallant aud patri-
otto Governor, s. ID MoEnery
This fact was attested to At Baton
Rouge last Thursday, BY the summary
manner IN which the self-eonsti,uted
delegates from St. Landry and Avoy-
Giles parishes were iiset down on" by
the Congressional Convention, and the
regular Democratic delegations, repre-.
sented by Judge EstilIette and Mr.,
Thorpe, respectively, wererecognized
and seated as the representatives Of
the masses Of the Democratic voters
of their respective parishes The
seating Of these two delegations Sc
cnres, beyond a doubt, the nomination
of Col. Sam Robertson for Congress,
to GIL the nnezpired term made vacant
by the death of his beloved father,
Hon. Il. w Robertson, and is a Just
tribnte to the gallant son of a noble
sire.
AT the same time it is a severe re-
bnke to Gen. Nichols and the bevy
Of office-seekers aud politicians that
undertook to carry the District for
their friend, Mr.. Herman, by making
a personal canvass of the Old Sixth in
his behalf; and stufing the voters
with rosss beef and COW. But it
didn't win. The people ate the beef
and voted for Robertson, the ayowed
friend and supporter of S. ID. McBnery
the peoples choice for Governor of
Louisiana.

THE following remarkable storywas
telegraphed over the country from
Bethel, Ky, Monday last: 1.-TWO.
years ago Calvin Showers, whose wife
had been an invalid for several months,
was called to her bedside to say fare
well. She placed a small iron ring,
that she had ordered made for the
purpose, on the third finger ,ofhis left
hand and extorted an oath that be
would never marry again. Then she
died contentedly, saying that If he
broke his word, she would haunt and
ruin his life. On Tuesday he was
married to Emma Briekel, to Ebomhe
was engaged before his first marriage
1.-The bride took the ring from his I'm,
ger, saying that it was superstitions t.
regard a wish 90 selfish. Wiihintwc
hours the bridegFoom's left side wa
paEalyzed, strangely enough beginning
in the fngerthat had worn the fata
ring. The ring could not be restore,
to its place, being much TOO small
whereas it had before been ampl
large"

Tn his speech at Franklin on last
Monday, Mr. Don Catfrey said, "Dem-.
oeratic voting did not seem to thrive
underhis lMcEnery's) administration"
We are not aware of what Mr. Cafrey
calls thriving, but if we are to judge
from the results in this the Third Dis
triet at the last two elections for Con
gresham, we should say that there
has been an abundant yield of newly
made Democratic voters in South
west Louisiana. Under Nichols ad-
ministration the Third District was a
Republican stronghold--under McER-
ery's it is a Democratic fortress. The
falling off of the Democratic vote in
ST. Mary fer Governor from about
l4oO in 1876 to 1926 in 1884, IS Ger.
tainly a bad showing for the 81. Mary
Democracy and can be attributed only
10 those dissatisfied ones who laboreC
for McEuery's defeat in the nominating
convention, but failing in this return
ed home and snlked 10 their tents
instead Of coming forward and support
ing the nominee Of a Democratic
convention, as all good and lOya
Democrats should have done.

d FEW FACTS.

notwithstanding the most strenu-
Gus efforts being put forward by the
Reform press and Gen. Nichols and
his followers to impress upon the peo-
pie the idea that the reelection of
Coy. McBnery means the total destruc-
ton Of every vital interest pertaining
tosthe welfare Of the State and would
be detrimental to the personal liberty
Of its citizens, the MoBnery boom is
making rapid progress all along the
line among the .staunch and simon
pure Democrats of the State, and his
nomination BY a handsome majority
is almost certainty notwithstanding
the Reformers have left nothing IN
said or uudone that would lead the
public to believe that S. d. McEnery

and ruled BY a ring of as great viii

Gen. Nichols has not yet answered the
question put to him by several Democratic
Journals, as to whether OrnOt he would sup
port the nominee Of the Democratic CQnyep-
| ton, whoever he may be. Can it be that,
as charged by some papers, the General in
tends to lead a revolt against the party nom
inatiou, as he did in the First Congressional
District, where he had no personal interest ?
AS Democrats who never bOlted nomination
We are entitled 10 have a plain and cstegori-
cal answer to this question from a gentleman
who Is seeking the nomination within the
